Mailbag: Former Evansville Administrator Jennifer Petruzello Endorses Hammann, Woulfe for Evansville School board

Evansville School District Residents -

I am writing today to express my support for School Board Candidates Melissa Hammann and Richard Woulfe, and encourage you to vote in the April 3rd election for these fine individuals.

Melissa and Richard have the best interests of students at heart. Both are hard-working, dependable individuals with strong knowledge of the Evansville Community and our schools. However, both of these individuals have different strengths which I believe will make them great assets to the Board.
Melissa is a passionate woman who has spent the last year educating herself about issues impacting our schools. She has been actively involved in her children's education and has first hand knowledge of the issues each school is facing. It is clear to me that she will challenge the administration and work towards solutions that have the most positive educational impact for our children given the financial dollars available. Her desire for information will facilitate better decision-making for the entire School Board.

Richard is interested in a long term view for our schools. I think he would bring a focus to the school board where decisions are based upon an identified set of priorities and goals. He has demonstrated a personal commitment to informing citizens about school issues through his work on The Evansville Observer. He is interested in learning the opinion of others and maintaining options for families.
I hope you will join me in supporting Melissa Hammann and Richard Woulfe in this critical election.
